lavender oil

“Lavender microparticles of size 12.42 ± 1.79 µm prepared at 30 w/w% polymer concentration, 16.67 w/w% oil loading, and 25w/w% gum acacia showed maximum oil protection at high loading (12 mg w/w%), and encapsulation efficiency (77.89 w/w%).”

lavender oil → microencapsulated → stable microparticles

“Moreover, lavender oil (1:1000, 1:100, 1:10, 1:0) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced tumour necrosis factor-alpha secretion from peritoneal mast cells.”

lavender oil → inhibits → anti-DNP IgE-induced tumour necrosis factor-alpha secretion from peritoneal mast cells

“The worst results have been observed against all strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.”

lavender oil → have → worst results

“Lavender oil has been less activity against clinical strains of Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Escherichia genus.”

lavender oil → have → less activity

“lavender oil did so only at the highest concentration tested”

lavender oil → increased → frequency of micronuclei
